SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 733,108, dated July. 7,1903.

Application filed July 19. 1902,

Be it known that I, IRA D. WORCESTER, a citizen of the United States anda resident of Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State ofPennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Toy, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in ject being to provide a toy ofthis character that may be readily attached to a smooth surface, such asglass, and held by atmospheric in a window, or to afford amusement.

I will describe a toy embodying my invention and then point out thenovel features in the appended claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar characters of reference inclicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective View showing a window-glass. Fig. 2 is asectional view of the toy. Fig. '3 is a section showing a modification,

The toy comprises a body portion 1, consisting of a yieldingmaterialsuch, for instance, as a rubber. The body is, concavoconvex, andarranged to project inward from metal or other hard substance. Itisseated in a socket 3, formed in the body. On the outer side at thecenter is a knob 4, formed I integral with the body and designed for theattachment of a string 5.

In Fig. 3 the tapping device consists of a Serialllo. 116.24.?v (N0model.)

hemispherical portion 6-such, for instance, as the head of a tack-andhaving a point 7 maybe forced through the body and into the knob 4. Itis to be understood that the opening in which the point 7 is inserted isequiv alent to the socket shown in Fig 2.

In operation the device is attached to a window-glass or the like bypressing the same thereon to exclude a portion of the air, therebyforming a partial vacuum, so that the device will be held in place bythe outer atmospheric pressure. Then by alternately drawing andreleasing the string the tapperwill be caused to make a sound on theglass. If desired, the cord may be provided at suitable intervals withknots 11, and then by drawing the thumb and finger over these knots thebody portion will be rapidly vibrated.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to securebyLettcrs Patent- 1. A toy comprising a body of flexible material havinga socket member and a knob formed on the outer side integral with thebody, and a tapper supported in said socket, substantially as specified.

2. A toy comprising a concavo-convex body of flexible material having asocket member on its inner side, a tapper of hard material seated insaid socket, and a device on the outer side of the body to which a cordmay be attached, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I have signed. my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
